"I Care/We Care About Equality"
Dec 03, 2020 12:00 PM
Tasha Donahue was born and raised on the infamous south side of Chicago. At twenty-one years old she left Chicago to begin her world travels. Those travels have continued throughout her life. She started writing for syndicated newspapers regarding food, wine and family life. Eventually she published three books, the latest a military love story based in 1970 in Rota, Spain. Donahue, in between her travels and writing was engaged as a community activist in such areas as education and the homeless. After Hurricane Katrina she traveled to Biloxi, Mississippi to help rebuild homes. She also flew to Ethiopia to help her church support the Afar people in a variety of areas: medical, agriculture and children's education. Most recently, Donahue remembers standing in front of her television and, like so many millions the world-over, witnessed the murder of George Floyd. Emotions mixed in shock, sadness and anger propelled her to begin her own non-profit, "I Care/We Care About Equality". (see her Facebook page under that same name). It is her intention, through this grass-roots initiative," to minimize racial bias in our communities. She whole-heartedly invites the Black Community and the White Community to talk about important racial issues in America via zoom. She has a monthly newsletter and a Facebook page just for this topic. The rest of her latest endeavor she will share with the Rotary on December 3, at 12 noon. |

Human Rights Movement in China
Feb 04, 2021 12:00 PM
Wen was born in China at the end of the Great Cultural Revolution. Being victims of the horrific atrocity that killed two million intellectuals and destroyed traditional Chinese culture, Wen's parents had mixed feelings about her education. Despite their discouragement, Wen eventually won a national prize at a science competition when she was 16. Hence, she was accepted into a top university for undergraduate study. In 1994, Wen came to the U.S. for graduate school and received a doctorate in Biology at the California Institute of Technology in 2000. Because of her personal experience of being brainwashed in China, she decided to be a voice for the voiceless. Since 2012, she has given over 300 presentations to community organizations about Chinese culture, history, and human rights. Dr. Wen Chen has been working for Caltech since 2000 as a biologist and information scientist on genomics and biological research. Part of her everyday work is to speak at scientific conferences and seminars in universities like UC San Diego and Harvard Medical School. In her personal life, she is an active member of Amnesty International, a board member for Caltech Women in Biology and Biological Engineering, and a special event host for the Caltech Alumni Association. She lives in Pasadena with her husband and two teenage daughters. |
